  • 2024-28517 — Petition for Modification of Application of Existing Mandatory Safety Standards
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 97072
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) received a petition from Peabody Midwest Mining, LLC requesting to modify a safety standard regarding the use of non-permissible radios in mines. The current rule mandates the use of approved radios, but with manufacturers no longer making these, Peabody seeks permission to use a battery-powered Motorola R-7 Portable Two-Way Radio. The company argues these radios are safe and necessary for effective communication, which is crucial for the safety of miners. Public comments on the petition are invited until January 6, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    Peabody Midwest Mining asked if they can use special radios that aren't currently allowed in the mines because they believe these radios will help keep miners safe, and they want to hear what people think about this change.

    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9377
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain DAHER AEROSPACE Model TBM 700 airplanes. This action responds to emergency procedures in the pilot’s operating handbook that can't be fully carried out because some equipment cannot be disconnected by the pilots from the flight deck. The directive requires revisions to the handbook to provide updated emergency procedures. The FAA aims to tackle this safety issue to prevent increased workload for flight crews, which could jeopardize control of the airplane during critical phases of flight.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has made a rule for certain DAHER airplanes to change their rulebook because pilots can't turn off some switches from their seats, which is important for safety. They want to make sure everything works right so pilots can fly the plane safely in tricky situations.
